Part I of my adverture in Paris on Saturday:
Saturday!!! Day of shopping...and jostling with the Paris crowd....
As I have a shopping list of things to get on behalf of colleagues and friends, I was on a mission. Luckily, some items on the list were easily found at Galeries Lafayette...but alas, they were quite heavy and I had to lug them around with me, while I walked around Paris. As usual, this blur girl got lost...walking in the opposite direction...and having to walk double the distance in the end....
It seems silly cos I know that Printemps is beside Galeries...but which direction is it beside? I spent some time searching for it b4 I remembered that I had to go to the Terrace on the top floor to see the scenery...I think it is the 7th level... so I went back to Galeries again...
See my picture of Eiffel taken from the Terrace....then I attempted to travel to Madeline station as instructed by my hosts...the problem was that there are many train stations...so somehow, I went to a train station that do not link directly to Madeline station and I had to switch a couple of trains before reaching Madeline station....and walk towards Champs Elysees...as mentioned above, my sense of direction was not very good or should I say that I got complacent when I saw the correct street name that I didn't check the direction that I was walking and went in the opposite direction instead...with so much walking, I had to call it a day b4 i reached the Arch de Triomphe as it was quite late already.
